Elkhart, IN … CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS), a global leader in the design and manufacture of electronic components, today announced the release of Model 576; a quartz based, CMOS output, surface mount temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO). This oscillator offers excellent performance for use in base stations, wireless communications, test and measurement, Femtocell, WLAN/WiMax/WIFI and mobile phone applications.
Model 576 is housed in a 7mm x 5mm ceramic package offering operating voltages from +2.8Vdc to +5.0Vdc and frequency stabilities ranging from ±5.0 ppm to ±0.5 ppm. Utilizing an analog compensation engine, this device is capable of holding the frequency stable over commercial and industrial operating temperature ranges (maximum to -40°C to +85°C).
Additional features include: Optional voltage control (VC-TCXO) for frequency tuning, excellent aging characteristics and low phase noise performance. The Model 576 platform is RoHS compliant (6/6) and shipped in standard tape and reel packaging. Complimenting Model 576 is the previously released Model 575, a clipped sinewave output version featuring similar performance standards.
